If you try a "maven -o m:rebuild-all" then you'll get the following error in the Tomcat module:
[echo] Deploying Apache Tomcat configuration
[java] Unable to access jarfile /data/cvs/geronimo/modules/assembly/target/geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/deployer.jar
This is because the Tomcat module builds before assembly, so the deployer has not been built at the time the Tomcat module is built and tries to access the deployer. This is the same problem that's been there for ages.
I didn't know about that as well as I did not see anybody reported this :( Do you know how to work it out as the idea is to build Tomcat outside of the assembly module? Do you think that creating a flag in the assembly module to build Tomcat would work?
I'm removing the Tomcat dependency from the assembly module since the Tomcat build is broken (and in fact it's already commented out of the multiproject build!), which means the assembly module otherwise auto-fails.
Hmm, the Tomcat dependency were commented out just because it breaks the build *and* (what's even more important) for people who are interested in trying it out - running Tomcat inside Geronimo. They could only uncomment it and voila - give it a try. Now, they'll have to read the wiki page, which may become unreadable and maintaining it may be cumbersome.
I do see a solution for it, but it requires to touch the assembly module (which I didn't mean to do because making mistake there breaks everything).
Do you know about any other possible solution?
